Late Stage Financial Literacy with Chelsea Fagan & John Hastings (Ep 279)
The Trump effect crushes another right-wing candidacy, this time in Australia. Canadian comic John Hastings joins to make sense of it all and to talk about the imminent re-opening of Alcatraz likely based on Trump's late-night PBS (?!) viewing. Then creator of The Financial Diet, Chelsea Fagan joins us to talk practical and macroeconomic look at what Trump's pigheaded tariffs regime means for our lives.

Fetterman's Decline, Pam Bondi's Fent and Elon's New Project *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY MA
ICE Director Tom Homan is threatening to arrest sanctuary city mayors. But don’t worry! Democrats are not taking this lying down… Actually, they are. Hakeem Jeffries thinks that Dems need to put a halt to going to El Salvador to rescue the migrants illegally sent to CECOT. Who is fighting for immigrant rights? Well, a Trump appointed judge in Texas ruled that the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezualens is illegal so that's something.
Francesca also discusses Israel’s continued war crimes, this time attacking a humanitarian boat bringing aid to Gaza. Speaking of Israel, John Fetterman’s crash out is hitting all time lows according to a recent New York Magazine article. We are talkin’ refusing to wear a seatbelt on a plane level of meltdown.

Zuckerberg In Court, Google on the Ropes & FBI Arrests Judge *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY**
The Meta and Google antitrust cases continue to move forward on Capitol Hill, despite all the kissing up to Trump Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai have done. Is a backroom deal getting done behind the scenes? David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, joined Francesca to discuss.
Also, we are literally arresting judges who are upholding the rule of law now. Milwaukee county judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly “interfering” with an ICE arrest. The fascism train ain’t slowing down, folks.

David Dayen - Editor of The American Prospect
